1970s MLB game Footage
Is there anywhere they have archived of all MLB games from the 70s? is MLB archives only possible location if at all?
|
There are some games on You Tube. I find hidden nuggets all the time.

Re: 1970s MLB game Footage
It's my understanding that MLB games we not saved in their entirety
until the mid to late 1970s. My recommendation to you would be to check out Doak Ewing's website http://www.raresportsfilms.com/otherbball.html He's got probably the best and oldest collection of vintage baseball footage out there. I think the oldest game in its entirety from his collection is from 1969. He's a reputable guy who've I've dealt with on many occasions. ErikV |

https://www.youtube.com/user/MLBClassics/ You can also look at their playlists, which groups the videos by categories (World Series, no-hitters and perfect games, etc.): https://www.youtube.com/user/MLBClassics/playlists ClassicMLB11 is another YouTube channel with a lot of games from the 70s, including more regular-season games than MLBClassics: https://www.youtube.com/user/ClassicMLB11 You can search that channel the same way. I just searched within the channel for "1978", and the only regular-season game I could find from that year is a poor-quality VCR copy of the April 15, 1978 Game of the Week between the Phillies and Cardinals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhxWdA1Rz1o They do have most of the playoff and World Series games, and shorter clips of a few other games from the decade, plus radio broadcasts of a few others. I'm pretty sure that's just about all that survives. |
Doak Ewing is the best for the few games that have survived. A really fun DVD that came our about two years ago is the first year of This Week in Baseball with Mel Allen.
That show was so much fun, I still think MLB messed up when they stopped it three years ago. How bout that! |
